Hi folks, I’m Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The
Matrix on January 20, 2019. Last
night, because of global warming, when I left to go to bed at about two in the
morning it was about -24°F, which is about -32° maybe on the centigrade scale.
That’s without a wind. It’s been like
that for quite a few nights in a row in fact. It’s been one of the coldest
winters, really, when you take a record for yourself. Don’t listen to the stats they’re constantly
churning out there, you’ve got to keep your own records of them. It’s quite
amazing to see how cold, and how long
the winters are now compared to what they were not so long ago. And yet, as you’re living through all this
you’re told constantly, and come about February or March they’ll tell us it was the warmest winter, probably, on record. That’s what they generally
do.
I’ve given talks about this before, by keeping my
own records and comparing them, what they project it’s going to be for today or
tomorrow or whatever, and what I notice is, they never change their
predictions. If they claim there’s going to be a few inches of snow, you’ll
find it might be a foot or foot and a half and things like that, but they don’t
readjust it on the records to say that that actually happened,
they just take their own predictions. So predictions are more important than
the consequent facts.
Everything today is so incredibly politicized.
Isn’t it? The average person doesn’t know that. That’s the stunning part about
it really. But everything is so politicized. There’s hardly anything you read
or hear on the electronic media of any kind that isn’t incredibly politicized,
and everything’s out there with some agenda in view. Everything’s agenda driven
today.
I’ve mentioned it before, how we live in an age
of personality cults. Folk don’t even realize that even on your mainstream television
the main anchor people that become, that are made to be popular, like
personalities, they’re really a corporation. Everything is a, everybody
is a corporation these days. Politicians hire the marketers to give them a
personality, an image to project it to the public in a kind of fake, fake
reality, a kind of a fake image of how wonderful they are, etc. And it’s all
fiction. Everything is about appearance
to the public. Perception management they call it.
We are in an incredible time today when everything
is like that. Everything. The stories
they put out today are often put out by marketing companies using the memes of today and the themes of today and the politicized agendas of the day, but the
main motive is really to get publicity. Everybody this week has been prattling
on about the latest Gillette toxic ads or whatever, men are toxic
and masculinity is toxic and all that stuff. And it turns out the one who
really put it forward is a person who was actually advertised
on behalf of Gillette, in advertising themselves. So when you think of the free publicity they’ve got with everybody prattling on about it,
for pro and con, etc… And again, it ties right in
with what Adam Curtis talked about it with, the media is meant to get you angry
and emotionally upset so’s you’ll all… because the more upset you get the more
people will click away on the Internet in their chat rooms and their twitters
and all the rest of it.
Gillette draws fire for #MeToo commercial that challenges 'toxic masculinity' - cnbc.com / 15 Jan 2019
But what a free publicity that is, isn’t it, for
a company that probably would not, maybe would have never thought about
Gillette before, for instance, nevermind asked the question, what on earth is
Gillette doing, a big corporation that’s out to make an incredible amount of
money, what’s it doing in that area in the first place? Well, it’s a great free
publicity thing. If the big agenda right now was marriage, for instance, they’d
be battering about marriage and oh wow, marriage, marriage, pro or con. Again, it doesn’t make any difference, as long as that was the theme of today and everybody gets
upset about it. You see.
But it’s the same too with the personalities
we’re given as figureheads in charge, apparently in charge of countries. I gave
out the articles before where politicians in the UK, and it’s the same I’m
sure in the US and Canada and elsewhere, actually have
acting lessons given to them. They
attend acting lessons and how to appear to the public, and deportment and how
to stand and posture for all their photo ops, etc. Because nothing in the
system you’re living in today, it’s all visual, etc., it’s not real
anymore. Maybe it hasn’t been real for
an awful long time.
You find too that a company like Gillette that’s
there for mass profit, right, with quite an amazing history. I remember a long
time ago, many years ago an article in the paper, I think I maybe read it on
the British side. It was a big award given to a man who taken over Gillette at
that time, an ex-military fella, as the CEO or owner, I’m not quite sure
which. But he turned it into the massive
powerhouse it is today for profits. And it said in the newspaper how they did
it was to vastly cheapen the life of
each blade so that people would buy more and at the same time market it in
such a way that folk would think it was wonderful and buy more of them, and lo
and behold, it actually worked. That’s what they said at the time in the
newspapers.
And I thought about it too. Because you see, at
one time people had open razors that would last a lifetime. They sharpened it
on the strop, and you’d see it in old movies and so on. And then came in the
closed razor, safety razor as they called it.
You had one blade initially, that, again, would last quite some
time. It was a bit thicker but high
carbon steel and it would give you a lot of shaves. And everybody caught on the
act, make them thinner and softer steel so they won’t last as long, they’d be dull,
and you’d buy more of them. But again, then you can make the people by the
actual blade holder in fact, the rest of the whole thing more often too. That
was part of the gimmick as well for a point. And they says,
no, let’s just make it a fancy looking holder and then give them a five blade
pack and make the price awfully expensive. So they did it.
The same techniques basically as lightbulbs, I’ve
talked about that too. Because there’s an awfully good documentary put out
years ago on built-in and planned obsolescence. [The Story of Stuff - youtube.com] Where the companies that used to make
lightbulbs made them last for many, many years. Each bulb would last pretty well almost forever. And of course, if you’re making
a product and you’ve got a company to make them you would get to a stage, you’d
think, where everybody got enough lightbulbs and unless you broke them by mistake they would last forever, so you’re out of business.
So the companies that made these bulbs met in Germany. They went from Britain
and US and everywhere else over to Germany for this big meeting. All the makers
of these lightbulbs decided to sign an agreement, come to an agreement where
they’d limit the life to a certain amount of time. And even then, it was a
much, much longer, much longer than they last today. And over the years they
would agree again to shorten them even more and more and more, until of course
towards the end you find that you put the thing in, it lasts a few days
sometimes and just pops as soon as you switch on the lights. That’s how you do it, the same with razor
blades and everything else by different companies. They’re all pretty well in the same con game. Then you have the double razor, you know,
double blade razors and all the other gimmicks, etc. Whereas if you had a decent high carbon steel
thicker blade it would last you an awful long time. And there you go.
But everything today is profit driven, big, big
profit. At one time you used to have a lot of families, actually
real families who had the controlling interests in the shares of their
companies. Therefore, the head, the people who became the CEOs were of the
family lineage. They used to have a kind of responsibility to the family name. They
knew their workers too, a lot of the workers and they look after them, made
sure they were okay if they were sick and so on, they’d make sure their
pensions were okay and that kind of thing. And that was awfully good for a long
time, the way that it worked with a lot of companies. Not them all, naturally.
Then along came the corporate raiders, as they
called it. The corporate raiders found backdoors into companies to buy up
excess shares and then get the controlling interests, kick out the family
members of the board if possible, and then they started selling off the assets. All the things that functioned to make the
companies what they were was sold off and stripped and made lean they said so they could resell it. The whole point was to
resell them. And a lot of them went
under as soon as they stripped them of their assets and so on. A pure
incredible, a greed type… personified in fact, a greed personified, really,
system as they ditched everybody. They got rid of older folk with the skills
and training, etc. and sold off the assets. Until companies were folding all
over the place eventually. But that was a get-rich-quick.
And since then, really, we’ve been in this era of
the me generation as they call it,
and winners and losers. Everyone’s taught to be a winner. And as you lose old moralities that kept
cultures intact, and we are, we’re constantly losing our moralities of the old
systems. And of course, the old system wasn’t perfect, either, by the way.
There was a lot of horror involved in the old system. Indeed. But what I’m
saying is that there were values in amongst the people themselves that kept
things just tolerable, and you brought in the human aspect of it where you
couldn’t just push people around for money’s sake. Well, we’ve pretty well lost that today.
Back in the 70s I think it was, there was a book,
maybe in the 70s or 80s, called The Corporate
Man. It was about the era where they started to really, really push the
corporations as big massive empires unto themselves. And you were part of a
team, the teamwork, teamwork, teamwork. And of course, the neurologists and
scientists and psychologists were on board with all this stuff to make sure,
with all their different tests, that if they brought someone on board would
they be the right person before they
hired them. And they’re pretty good at predicting who would go along with
anything at all that the company did, even all the things that perhaps they
shouldn’t go along with, and they would swear unyielding alliance to these companies no matter what happens. And
we never really got rid of that eventually. Now that whole kind of culture is
spread into all of society. Milton Friedman
too came out with his, oh, greed is
good, greed is good, being taught through all business colleges and
universities.
In such a culture of course as I say, it’s
winners and losers. With the Internet with the chat rooms and Facebook and
Twitter and all the rest of it, everybody’s a narcissist out there. It’s all
about me, as they say, it’s all about me.
And again, Curtis mentioned that too on some of his documentaries, where all
the information is being gathered about you to reflect back
to you, to advertise to you and suggest to you, it’s all about you,
you, you. Which boosts the whole
idea of narcissism, that oh, I’m so important. Really. Really. But you’ve never seen such incredible arrogance on a
personal level as we have today. We’re losing our natural humaneness, and
that’s all through companies and corporations.
I’ve even found out this last little while,
there’s no point in complaining to a corporation about anything, whether it’s a
government agency or anything else. Actually, private ones
are bit better to deal with, they’ll try and get things fixed. Whereas
government agencies are like civil service bureaus where they can’t really fire
them. And if you complain about
something it doesn’t matter what the problem is or who you happen to be, you’re
a figure, a number, a non-entity and you’re dealt with as such. It’s a there-there, dear-dear-dear. Nothing’s
going to happen really. Or if anything happens it’ll be the wrong thing. Or
they haven’t listened.
It’s like going to the doctors today, they don’t want to know your family history. We are
in Idiocracy, honestly, where they
look at pictures, and the doctors look at pictures, and they’ll even look on…
[Alan chuckles.] I had an experience where one of them showed me something in a
smart phone, I don’t even have a smart phone, I don’t need to, and which it was
pointing out about the spine. Which I could write a book on the spine and I’m
not kidding you. And I thought, why would you even point to this picture on a
cell phone? It’s just like Idiocracy. When in my mind I could just take it from my
mind and draw it for you, perfectly.
But that’s what everything is today. And if you try to mention any kind of family history, which has always and always and always been so important, they don’t listen to you,
it doesn’t matter.
Everything today is flowcharts. So if you go to
the doctor or something with a problem, here’s a problem, it goes to the
next, and a little arrow points to the next flowchart, to the next flowchart,
and the next flowchart and the next flowchart. But if you don’t understand the
family history side of things, which suggests that lineages have got a DNA or a
chromosomal problem, perhaps, in the family lineage, or something that you’re
all prone to, then they’ll definitely misdiagnose
you. That happens all the time today.
Well, it’s the same thing complaining, as I say,
to different agencies, especially,
especially with governmental agencies where they tend to pad the hierarchy,
constantly growing all the time with people who work at the bottom, who worked
their way up and come off the shop floor you might say to speak that is, and
put them upstairs, and you end up with too many of them. And no one, no one, no
one is going to risk their neck by maybe getting involved in any complaint or
problem or whatever. Their job simply is to pacify callers with a there-there attitude
and try and alleviate something. And
often the alleviation will be a lot worse than the initial problem. I’m not
kidding about that.
So that’s where we are today. Everybody is a
personality. Everybody’s got their allegiance to whatever they work at,
especially when there’s big money involved.
And the average person doesn’t make the kind of money that the agency’s
for instance that are related to government do make, naturally. Therefore,
since the whole point in the winners and losers
society is to get up amongst the winners, then once they get up there as I say,
they aren’t really going to serve the public as such. They’re not going to do the same way. No
way. And they don’t want their names
mentioned, in case anything goes wrong on any particular
thing and a complaint comes in about themselves, you see. That’s how
scared everybody is of losing their status, which goes along with the level of
their paycheck.
But we’re living in an age now, and it’s not a
matter of bemoaning it to an extent. It’s a matter of factual reality. We go
through massive transformations of society down through time and it doesn’t
mean that you’re actually going into perhaps a better
one. Although the different sociologists and there’s even anthropologists
involved now too. They even work with
the military all the time when they go to invade countries, they go in with the
troops. Because they know the ways, the
Achilles’ heels of different cultures and how to infiltrate, destroy and even
threaten or torture them. This is the society we’re into today, isn’t it, where
it’s all professionals but the professionals are not there to really help
you. They see you as numbers and figures
and animals, actual animals to be manipulated. They do this and we do that and
then you’ll do this and… They, them,
that’s the public.
The biggest and most well-paid psychologists and
neuroscientists, etc. and behaviorists all work for big top agencies in
marketing, which also are related to governments and work with governments when
required for big, big, big money, in order to prompt
us and persuade us to go along certain paths.
They also work and have done for a long time with teachers’ associations
for education. They create the toolkits and how to persuade the children collectively to come to the same conclusions
as the teacher wants them to have on any particular topic. And how to even annul any individual
responses from any actual individual child. It’s all pretty
well perfected, using peer pressure, even shunning techniques and
things like that to make them conform. It’s just astonishing. And
that’s through all of education today.
Then the same techniques are now used on the
public, overwhelmingly so. You’re seeing
the politicization, as I say, of everything out there in order to control, to
make you conform. It’s nothing to do with idealism. Don’t ever fall and say,
well, they’re really idealists so there’s an excuse. No, they’re not.
The ones at the very top of this, who design all of this, [Alan chuckles.]
their ideals are not your ideals. They want you to all conform and be
controlled. That’s what it’s all about.
That’s what it’s all about.
If society was free, really, we’d have individual
opinions, individual everything out
there. And people would not be at
each other’s throats because they were different than you. So they’re forcing
you to go along with everything, until you can’t even have your own opinion. Or you’ll be punished, sometimes in a more
shunning type of way. Or else to the next step, which is coming, where they’ll go for your income, or your job and
get you out of work. That happens too by the way today. All the way to
violence, and then that will come. Because the system today, run by those at
the very, very top use all the unstable people below them to do the violent
things to other people. Which also
frightens those people who will not conform with the latest PC whatever it
happens to be. And that’s where we are with all of this.
I listened to a little clip by Christopher
Hitchens’s brother, Peter Hitchens, and he had done a talk show with someone
from Australia. He was talking about the past and how he’s lambasted at times
about… His criticism today, Peter Hitchens, is that they’re saying about him
that he’s bewailing the loss of a past. But he’s not. He’s bewailing the loss
of some of the values, individual values that kept society going, even amongst
the toughest times where folk would try to help each other out, out of just
basic decency values, which are vanishing. That’s really what he stood up for
in the past. And why things are not necessarily on a great course for the
future, nevermind the present.
But he did mention that he came out of University, in his day, I think he went to Oxford, and he
came out like many of this peer group at that time, as Trotskyists, as Marxists
and revolutionaries. They were all
getting trained in University, that’s what University is for. Never stopping to think, wait a minute here,
this is the big Ivy League type of university, the real, real granite stone building type thing as opposed to the red brick,
as they pooh-poohed the working-class type universities that were getting built
at that time in maybe in the 1940s or 50s. And why would your establishment
have brought in revolutionary Marxists and Communists into the country and given them teaching positions, in the areas
where those in the elite who rule Britain… Maggie Thatcher talked about it when
she was giving big, big grants to the private, top private schools, the posh schools as they’re called, and
University, she says, because that’s
where our future leaders come from, and they all meet each other there, and
they’ll all know each other as they grow up in politics and business and CEOs, you
see. Why would the country be allowing that to, not just allowing it but
encouraging it to happen?
They’re not dumb. There was never a country more
spied upon ever and monitored than
the UK. A country that ran an empire didn’t just sit back and let things happen.
Even though they were rapidly losing the Empire with a massive debt being
incurred from borrowing from the US banks during World War I, which you could
never pay off, and then World War II rolled along too. They still had that same control system embedded
in the universities, but they allowed all this to happen. So there’s Peter
Hitchens, and his brother of course, who became a radical far-left pretty well communist working for The Nation, and it
wasn’t until Peter Hitchens saw what was happening in the Soviet Union, towards
the end of it, he was there when it fell or supposedly fell. It didn’t fall, actually, it was just transformed. If those who remember
at the time Gorbachev gave a speech, I think Eric Margolis, if I remember, who
is a good reporter, he did, he covered that speech and he wrote it down and put
it in the newspapers. Gorbachev at that time said that,
you’ll hear shortly that communism is
dead. He was talking to the nation, the Soviet nation, and he says, don’t believe it. He says, we’re simply transforming into the next
branch, international.
If you’re wondering why the West, especially the
US perhaps, is financing and leading the charge for a form of socialism, but it’s
a corporate socialism with corporations at the top running the systems below.
Very much, by the way, very much like China, isn’t it? Because China knows,
they can give you everything you want in China. Everything you want. And Hitchens said the same thing. And they are, my goodness, you wouldn’t
believe what they can buy them, what they can do in the cities in China where
the money is. The prices of even facelifts
and things like that are so cheap and the youngsters all go in for mass plastic
surgery, things like that. But what you cannot have his freedom of thought.
You must conform with the ideas and opinions according to the party norm.
Well, it really isn’t much different… If you stop
thinking in terms like communism, capitalism and corporatism and so on, it’s
all the same, folks. I’ve said
before, you can have the same brass bands playing the same national tunes and
marches as long as you want, but you’ve got to remember, you can change
incrementally quite a long distance, even face the other way, in one generation
quite easily, and done so slickly that folk don’t even recognize it. But when you
see the same signs and symptoms of a system, across the world… and you’d better
believe it is the same system. We’re
still battling the same nonsense today of, oh, they’re right-wing, they’re
left-wing and they’re liberal and all that nonsense. It’s the same
agenda. Just like Jefferson said, when you see the same agenda continuing
between changes of the house, meaning parties of politics in government,
they’re continuing the same agendas, then
know you’re under tyranny. The
trick is to make you, to appear like they’re different. But they’re not
different at all.
The same agenda is in the UK when it happened, actually have happened.
Look at Cameron for instance, he’s supposedly conservative, what a joke
that was. He was more liberal than anybody. Tony Blair was more conservative,
with warmongering. And the big corporate giveaways, which rewarded him awfully
well by the way, for his wars, don’t you think? Have you seen lately all the
houses and real estate he’s collected throughout England, and abroad probably
too? But, huh, you don’t get that with
just being a little Prime Minister, a public servant. Hm. Yeah.
Then he was picked up by J.P. Morgan and elevated to the head of the
group to do with, The Quartet they called them I think, The Quartet, to do with
managing corporations across the Middle East.
So as I say, nothing really is what it seems to
be, unless you want to look at it.
Remember, most people, and it’s not their fault, haven’t got a clue
what’s going on. They’re too busy having fun. And if you interject and say,
well, would you like to know why this is this way, in whatever it happens to be,
they’ll call it, you’re a downer. They don’t want to be reminded of these nasty
and unpleasant things. Like debt, for instance, don’t talk about debt. Don’t talk about, for instance, a
Great Depression that happened before, for some reason it could never happen
now, you see. Hm. But they can’t tell you why it could never happen now. They really do think they’re living
in a kind of a type of free society where special invisible people above them
are managing it all perfectly, on their behalf, like bureaus and bureaus and
bureaus of saviors who just live in little offices in sky buildings or
something taking care of everything in their lives for them, because they love them. That’s as far as it
goes.
It’s astonishing, really, how little thought goes
into asking questions. At least I find
that. I’ve always found that, I suppose.
And I did analyze even when I was young, I thought, well, the conditions
in Britain were so bad for most of my life. They got a little better about the
late 80s I think as the governments allowed more money to be printed up. They
allowed credit cards to be thrown out across the board to everybody for the
first time. At one time you couldn’t get those things unless you had collateral
to back any kind of loan, including credit cards. That’s how they got a lot of
the country through such incredibly hard times as the deindustrialization went
on and on and on for years. Without telling the public even why. There were
agreements they had signed with the EU to completely deindustrialize the UK.
Everything is secret, isn’t it, when you’re
dealing with agencies and government bureaus and so on. It’s always secret, they can’t tell
you anything. And they won’t tell you
anything. But people are told that they’re there to represent them. Well….. for
who? Who is representing you? For what?
They’re there to represent you for what? So we go along with this game of
pretense, and we have to participate in the pretense,
and you’re supposed to vote so that someone can rule you. And again, a
marketing company will create the image of this person or this party that
you’re going to vote for. They’ve been doing that for, long before I was born,
that same nonsense. It’s really amazing to me that
people just don’t ask the right questions.
How many folk do you know have even asked why
your countries are always at war somewhere across the planet? Why? And don’t take the glib answer, oh well,
it’s to stop some genocide over here or there or whatever. Really, is that what
it’s… we’re just out there to do good for people and stop them killing each
other, is that what it’s really about? You’ll find our countries are behind most of the killing across the world, and
the plundering still today of the resources of different countries, way more
than any little tyrant is doing. The
first thing you need for war, and that includes localized war, without even the
term war being used because we don’t
use that very often, we’re policing, we’re policing actions. Just change the appearance of something,
perception management again, to disarm your logical process of thinking.
You’ll find as I say that, I mean Tony Blair is a
good example, only one of many. The
Daily Mail had it years ago, years after the
invasion of Iraq and elsewhere, where Tony met with the heads, the CEOs of big
oil corporations, and the US ones too, and they
divvied up the oil fields across Iraq before they did the invasion. But
what was the guff that they gave to the public for the necessity for invading
Iraq? Well, suddenly Saddam Hussein, the
guy who had served the West all that time, was a bad man. Bad. He was the
world’s demon, for goodness sake. And that’s how you do it. George Orwell’s 1984, who are we at war with
today? Who’s the enemy today? …as
they change the gun sites all the time, back and forth, until you’re lost.
But behind it all is always profit for big
corporations, always. Always, always,
always. The whole idea with Russia for
years now, is because there’s a group in the Middle East involved with a group
in the US and in Britain, who want to have the rights of the oil fields all
through the Middle East and into the east of Europe. And naturally, Russia is also, was also
laying oil pipelines across, in fact, they were feeding a lot of the gas to
Europe of course, and that all got canceled supposedly because of the last
fracas of propaganda. So it’s always to do with corporate warfare going on.
That’s what it’s about. Nothing to do with ideology. Russia’s got the same successful psychopaths
as we do running us behind the scenes. Governments are almost there to rubberstamp
things on behalf of the big corporations today.
The big corporations use every technique of
control. Again, persuade the public. The first thing you must do for warfare is
basically get the public support on your side. For anything you want to do, if
you want to invade and steal whatever, don’t say we’re going to steal, we’re
going to help these folk over yonder,
that’s what you say. It’s not difficult
to do. And because you’re raising a public to be gullible, believing they’ve
got an honest society, even though there’s no signs of it, they keep telling
you there is, and so why would they lie to you?
Decent folk will say, well, it must be, there must be something to
it, for goodness sake. And the fallout from it all achieves further
goals and that’s what people don’t realize too.
The mass migration, remember, into the whole of Europe was discussed
before Tony Blair got the war going with Britain involved in Iraq. That was
part of the agenda, the mass migration into Britain and other countries. So
there are many agendas being fulfilled here. And it’s not by chance. Not by chance at all.
In other words, what I’m saying to you, I’ve
given talks on this many years ago about how history is written and it’s never,
nothing sudden in history, unless
it’s something out of nature that was unforeseen. But anything to do with human
involvement means there’s been planning involvement. It doesn’t simply happen
by itself. There’s never a spontaneous
war on any grand scale. It takes years of planning to get it all going and to
get all the logistics worked out, etc., before you even make the first move.
Big, big battle plans. But for the public you are taught today that everything
was just fairly sudden.
Utter nonsense. Your history books are written in advance, and that’s why the initial propaganda, no matter how absurd
it is at the time, and even more absurd after the facts and after time has
passed with more evidence coming to light, is that the initial propaganda will
be stuck to like concrete and everybody involved at the top, as they stand
together and they close ranks, will never ever vary their opinions. They all
know what to say and do to get, keep on their own little power jobs and to stay
up in a position of wealth. That’s how precise and total everything is today.
History must be taught afterwards the way it was planned, to be taught, before the event
took place. The same with World War I, and the whole of other wars as well for
that matter. It’s so fascinating to see
how the group, the Milner group that became the Royal Institute of
International Affairs / CFR across the planet, for the global enterprise system
based in London, England at the time. It’s so interesting to read The Anglo-American Establishment by
Professor Carol Quigley who was given access to their own historical records.
They have their own historical
records for goodness sake. They also
have members who write the history for the public, which, and it’s
different. [Alan chuckles.] But for accuracy’s sake, for their own
members, they have archives of the real histories as it happened, going
way back. Quigley said it was so
important, their function in history and altering and planning history, and
planning the future, was so important that the world should know about it. Then,
Tragedy and Hope went too far, the
group that he belonged to kind of panicked and they took the plates back for
the book for printing and didn’t print more. Although, luckily, enough had been
printed that could be copied. And they are accurate when you compare them.
But the other book, The Anglo-American Establishment, giving you the history of this
group and how, they didn’t actually start in the 1800s
but they changed their name in the 1800s. In fact, it was so secretive they
change their names even amongst the degrees of membership from the low to the
top. He shows you how they worked in circles and how some of the circles would
inter-lap, like Chinese puzzle rings, and where they
inter-lapped, those members there, we would call technocrats today. They were the, they worked to do more of the
doing, the persuading other groups on how to go along with the doing of things across this Empire that
they were creating.
They also planned wars with South Africa to take
over South Africa from the Dutch and settlers, the Boers. They planned an attack on the Boers. Members of this group attacked the Boers and they took along with them a Times reporter. Because they owned newspapers, the members
owned the newspapers in their day too, as they still do today. The reporter’s job was to give a fake account
of this raid on the Boers and have it
as the Boers attacking British
settlements. That would give the propaganda, justification for Britain then,
force them to an extent to then send troops in there. Then the troops would police the areas, fight
the Boers, and they had the Boer War out of it.
Then a few, a handful in London that really ran the Empire and the resources
of it all, would then grab the diamond and gold fields of South Africa, the
diamonds and gold. That’s how it was
done.
Quigley goes through it and a lot of the members
involved in The Anglo-American Establishment.
It’s quite fascinating to read it. When you realize what he’s telling you, and
in his position too, what he’s not telling you, he could even go further than
that. But he did say that for the last
hundred years or so they pretty well had been instrumental in steering the
course of history. Well, it hasn’t stopped. It hasn’t stopped. And depending on how you
look upon this agenda, if you’re an insider naturally you’re going to get
rewarded for going along with it all. And you do. Doors will open if you are tapped
to go into the CFR. You can’t go and apply for it, you’re tapped. They’ve already sussed you out to see if you can keep your
mouth shut, how trustworthy you are, how much influence you can have in your
little circle. Then they bring you up and put you into different positions.
They’re all through the civil service of government as well and the military
too, at the top. And for the military, they don’t often even have to serve much
time in the field, if any at all, they’re just rammed up through the ranks pretty quickly. Once they’re up to the top ranks they know
all the contacts, the military-industrial boys. Then they’re given jobs, the
CEOs at times, or go-betweens to lobby on behalf of the military-industrial
complex. It’s quite a system. But it’s a completely different reality than what the
peasants are taught at the bottom, that pay for everything, and
fight for everything, and do the fighting. It’s vastly different. Vastly,
vastly different. So perception
management is incredibly important in the way that we are run.
I’ve always mentioned in my talks, at least I
hope I have, that I don’t give you nostalgia for the past.
But there’s no doubt about it, the natural humanity you’d see from people even
in times of incredible poverty, and the UK was incredibly poor after World War
II. And they were incredibly rationed
right up until the 1954, I think, and even then, lots of the food was still
getting taken out of British farms and sent abroad to feed Europe. It was a devastating war. Devastating. But during it all you still found decency
amongst different people. But you’d also find a lot of viciousness amongst
those who’d had maybe a few generations of poverty. Because to survive people
can become awfully hard, as well, naturally.
But it was the balancing out of it with the decency there too that got
people through it.
I remember when people didn’t own their own
homes. I mean, most folk, say, in Scotland rented Council housing. They
couldn’t afford their own homes. A socialist country, socialism, as far as I
was concerned, was the suppression of
people, hchhh, not for people to be able to afford
and to by anything. They were kept at the bottom level with wages controls,
prices controls, high taxation. And
that’s how it was, set almost in stone that way. It was terrible. Amongst it all you had ridiculous public
relations exercises of propaganda, run again by psychologists and marketing
companies, on how wonderful the youth were today, they had all this chance in
the pop business and rock business and so on, and we should all be happy
because you had good music. Well, it was to give you the amount of fake idea
for the change of the future. Because they weren’t raking in the millions of
bucks, like two or three different top groups. Of course they weren’t. They
were lucky to get jobs, a lot of them at that time.
As I say, so anyway, Peter Hitchens, he did
mention that he’s not nostalgic for all of the things of the past. But he did mention they had basic values and
there was a basic remnants of a culture that came from what is hated, and that was at least
Christian values, how to treat each other.
That came in to good effect to get folk through the hard times. Neighbors
would often, I remember, help each other out to pay the rents. Very frequently.
That was quite normal. You didn’t have the mass commercialization of purchasing
and buying because most folk bought everything secondhand, that I knew. It was the same across a lot of places in England too,
a lot of big, big cities, etc. People were just broke, and somehow, they
survived and ticked along basically.
The so-called Empire thing, that was for
Hollywood to play that up, the wonderful Empire, they had. Because the general
public didn’t profit from it at all.
They paid for it all through their taxes, to be armed and policed by
soldiers and all the rest of it. But that’s what it was. Nothing really changes,
just the perception of how it’s managed today, and the constant reiteration that you’re
free and you’ve never been so free, as you’re the most surveyed and
surveilled society in history. It’s
incredible, ‘eh.
But anyway, I didn’t even mean to go there today.
I was just going to prattle this off, a
whole bunch of articles. But what gets me is, that most folk won’t ask
questions. The youth are always catered too much more than the adults too.
Because the youth, and I really mean this, with anthropology and psychology and
the milestones in life and psychodynamics, and all the rest of the stuff
working on us all the time, they know exactly through the culture industry
how to cater to you. For the young folk it’s sex and hedonism and
narcissism, and just fill their heads full of it, fill their heads full of it,
get lots of this, party, fun, sex. For the people who do get hitched, which are
declining all the time naturally with all the anti-marriage propaganda coming
out there too, except for maybe single parents, the state has become the
supplier of goods and finances to single parents and has done for an awful long
time. And none of this happened because
of pressure from the bottom, folks. It came from the top.
It always comes from the top. It suits
the banking system, the international banking system, the big, big system that really runs the world through its
networking and its circles and circles, like Quigley said. Awfully important to
understand it. Because the same group that the Milner group belong to that
became the Royal Institute of International Affairs / Council on Foreign Relations, Pacific Rim
associations and all the other associations, it’s all the same group,
gave you the United Nations, the World Bank, the Bank for International
Settlements, the International Monetary Fund and a host of other debt creating
systems that profits from the banks that you’ll pay off, they own them all, and
the central banking systems across the world.
Because money was to be the new military power,
the new form of military to control everybody’s lives. It’s been
awfully successful, isn’t it, when you think about it to the present time.
Because when you’re getting some of it, even though it’s all debt base money
people can live a bit better on a materialistic basis than they’ve ever done
before. But again, they’ve been taught that somehow this candle will never burn
down. Although it’s designed to. Because once the whole world is under the same
system in comes austerity. And just like they’re teaching children
today, in school now, to worship the planet earth and they must sacrifice for
the planet earth, which is another big front organization for total control of
the planet and how you live. Right down
to even if you get born if they need you, eugenics, etc. Because that’s all part of the same system
run by the same group. Always was. And
they’ve got all the time in the world to implement it.
They’re awfully precise now with their 50-year
plans and 100-year plans and what they can achieve, and different goals along
the way, all the milestones. They know
exactly what they can do now. And you will see all these things come to pass. The
Brave New World of Aldous Huxley,
that didn’t appear out of thin air, Huxley mixed with all the eugenicists. He
mixed with the class that were the controllers and the professionals that dealt
as controllers on behalf of those who owned the planet and the finances of the
day. He was well aware
through many, many discussions from, and growing up, at the dinner table, etc.,
that through psychology and training and behaviorism, and repetition, you
could train up and raise the public to believe and behave in any way that you
want them to behave and believe. And
that’s exactly what they’ve proven over and over again.
Most people don’t have their own mind. They have no reason to question things if they are basically materialistically
happy and they’re getting along in life with, as they say, the substitutes for
everything else given to them. But
from the beginning I never came out to talk to the general public. I just knew
there was enough people out there asking questions who didn’t have the answers.
A lot of people, you’ll find, were punishing themselves. They couldn’t fit in. They knew lots of things were wrong in the
world. They didn’t know how to get
verification of it and the knowledge of it, and what was going on. And maybe a lot of them, some of them were
brighter than other people perhaps and if you don’t get the answers and you’re
demanding questions, you might turn in towards yourself and destroy yourself
through either alcohol or drugs or both. And I’m glad that down through
the years people have got in touch with me to say I helped them get over that
track.
It’s very hard to explain to someone where this thirst comes from, this thirst, you
know. The most important thing in life is, why… why? It’s never been
asked. Or, you’re given urtzots answers, you’re getting fake answers from the
establishment who crush any alternative facts.
I’m not talking about reasons, I’m talking about facts. And that’s
important to know as well.
Again, if you go into Lord Bertrand Russell,
another Lord, remember. And folk never
question, why are the Lords, would be they working to create this thing called
socialism? Because they don’t have any affinity for the general public, the
common people. Just like George Bernard
Shaw didn’t. But he had the same attitude as Shaw, and he worked in the same
organizations as Shaw. That the general public would have to come,
everybody individually, to the socialist organizations, run on behalf of the
elite, the elite who should rule you, and
you’d have to justify why they should allow you to stay alive and live in a
socialistic system. George Bernard Shaw said it. His voice is up on video out there, on audio,
if you want to listen to it. That hasn’t changed.
Russell also said that eventually, hopefully, he said, anyone will be able to persuade anyone else of anything they want.
He’s talking about with the right techniques and power behind them. Well, guess
what folks? Look around you today. What’s getting pushed? Hm?
And they have everyone fighting everybody else. Because you fall for opinions, you
immediately take sides. Rather than say, wait a minute, who’s giving us this? Why are you giving us this? What is the final agenda with this?
It’s too easy by using emotion to get them all fighting rather than
asking. Isn’t it?
Remember too, before I finish off this talk that
you can get the books and discs @CuttingThroughTheMatrix.com. You can also donate to me. You can find out
how to do it if you look into the websites. You’ll see
all the sites I have listed there @CuttingThroughTheMatrix.com, you
should take note of them in case any of them get pulled eventually, you just
never know. Or if I just decide to cut
some out because of the cash problems, everything takes money. And I was never out for money, otherwise I’d
be selling you all kinds of gadgets and gimmicks and so on. Or magic truths. I
could give you lots of the answers to what’s called magic, but I wouldn’t sell
it basically.
Most folk want mysticism as opposed to facts.
It’s much easier to escape from reality that way for folk, rather than to
really go after knowledge. Because if you go after knowledge, then you’re left
with decisions on what you’re going to do in life. And will that mouth of yours
stay silent down the road? Or won’t it? I’ve said before, and it’s amazing to hear
that the talks I’ve given from even 20 years ago being reiterated by other
people, and even in what’s elevated high places you might say. I’ve said,
remember that you’re the only material, just like the builders were always
talking about, you are the building
material and you’re the only building material that you can be sure of. Start with yourself instead of grabbing the
latest flag or banner that’s waived in your face for some cause or another. Start
with yourself. Once you’ve basically built yourself then you
see through all the cons that are out there. Then you can be a more complete
person. And less angry perhaps.
Because you will certainly, if you follow all the
stuff that’s dished out on a daily basis to you by the
marketers, including those who run all the rebel sides of all kinds, everything
out there is either a color revolution or something else on the go, isn’t
it? Once in a while
you have to ask yourself, what are you rebelling against? Who wants you to rebel? Now we have this sanitized version of it
where every country will issue permits for your little demonstrations and you
go and protest whatever it is, hold hands and sing whatever it is you sing, and
then you all go off and have your pizza and coffees like you’ve done. It’s almost like a hobby now in some big
cities across the world. It really is,
isn’t it. It’s a nice hygienic safety valve for everybody. Because
everyone now is being pushed into different groups that you must belong to. You
must belong to something or you’re not complete, apparently. But again, with a
lot of folk now it’s the only socializing they get. They can’t even talk to
each other, even when they’re standing next to each other, without
texting. M-hm.
Anyway, I’m gonna put up some articles tonight, I
was going to prattle on about them actually, but I
just wandered off as I always do. One of them was about the libraries and how
the libraries are churning out, and they have been from the 90s in Canada and
elsewhere, you’d see massive book dumps and garbage dumps of awfully good books
as they were, they call it weeding, by the way. Like all organizations today
they’re international, no one in any country in any particular
job profession or anything does it according to that country or culture.
They’re all, they all connect, you see it being done across the world, oh, they’re doing this, let’s do it too. But your culture, your history is often
getting trashed. And along with it, the
weeding as they call it, and it’s taught, they call it weeding, every top
librarian knows it too. And some of the
salaries of these librarians in the US blows you over. Really. Honestly.
Wherever you get taxpayers money at work, you’re getting plundered, folks.
That’s where the money is these days, isn’t it?
But yeah, the books are getting, they’ve been
getting chucked in the rubbish dumps and the whole bit. There’s a lot of politicization involved in
it, naturally, of things that they simply want to disappear. Tragic. New Zealand’s doing it. Australia does it. Canada’s done a lot of it,
already. Still doing it. The US is just
doing it at an awful rate right now. Quietly from the public. They don’t want
the public knowing about it because you might start getting complaints about
it. I mean, this is public money that bought all these books, remember. And a
lot of them aren’t even selling them off.
They’re literally, they want them all ditched. There’s a lot of stuff now that must just
disappear from history. The memory hole, as George Orwell called it. So I’ll
put those links up for those who maybe are curious to find out, wonder where
all the books in the library, and a lot of reference books too, simply went to.
As they give you new histories all the time. Everything is remade again.

So I’m sorry to prattle on tonight but as I say,
I didn’t mean to go here in the first place. But once you get started sometimes
it just happens. As I say, the main thing is not to repeat just stories, etc.
It’s to do some thinking at times, hopefully help other people out who are
asking questions too. A lot of young folk are, and not just young folk but a
lot of folk are asking the questions. And they’ve been running… I used to compare it to being… the awakening
process, something sometimes stirs you, something might’ve lit the fuse basically,
that starts you off really searching. It’s like coming out of the tunnel onto a
field. And the field is laden with minefields everywhere. Everywhere you’ve got
posts with signs that say, come here,
here’s the answer, oh no, it’s over here, here’s the answer. That’s how confusing it is. Often
deliberately so, too.
Because those who control the world, as you’re
trying to break free, they’ll wrap you off into some sideline, immediately, if
they can. There’s nothing in
reality that’s there by chance. Really. Information from the beginning
of even writing, or even before writing but with writing came along, it was
used from the beginning with conformity of thought, with political and control
motives behind things, in many, many areas, not it
all, but getting worse and worse, right up until the invention of newspapers. Now
it’s of course, the Internet and television and newscasts and newscasters. And
the newscasters themselves, again, are corporations, a lot of them, with their
big PR companies and the agent, their own
agents that negotiate for their pays and all the rest of it... that don’t do anything for free. Nothing is spontaneous, folks. Big
money is behind them all. Big, big money. Millions. And teams of writers at times too. Teams of
them.
So question everything and start thinking for
yourselves. Hopefully. And perhaps like all down through history, there are
always those who are around, a few, who can pass the knowledge on to the next
group, who sometimes have to go and hide themselves in
some generations, because knowledge can be dangerous. And those who control
everything have always known that.
So for myself, Alan Watt from Ontario Canada,
it’s good night and may your God or your gods go with you.
